Client’s Testimonial:

“Thank you so much for your service! My family and I are all very happy now.”

On April 4^th, 2018, we received another EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability) approval for a Researcher in the Field of Polymer Physics (Approval Notice).

General Field: Polymer Physics

Position at the Time of Case Filing: Researcher

Country of Origin: China

State of Residence at the Time of Filing: Massachusetts

Approval Notice Date: April 4^th, 2018

Processing Time: 9 Days (Premium Processing Requested)

Case Summary:

With a doctoral degree and ample experience in the field of polymer physics, a researcher from China was a good fit for EB-1A (Alien of Extraordinary Ability). Before taking on his case, we meticulously reviewed his credentials to be sure he qualified for this tough I-140 category. Thanks to our expertise and over 10,000 I-140 approvals we have obtained throughout the years, we quickly determined the best direction our client’s EB1A petition should take.

Meeting the 3 EB1A criteria:

In this EB1A case, our client’s personalized petition was focused on the following:

Original scientific and scholarly contributions of major significance to the field: We detailed the 154 times our client’s work was cited by dependent and independent researchers, all of whom are working to progress the field of polymer physics.
Authorship of scholarly articles in major publications: At the time of filing, our client had already published an impressive 16 articles in well-known scientific journals.
Judge of the work of others in the field of polymer physics: We noted that our client had already judged the work of his peers 28 times, which proved the significance of his opinions and ideas to other researchers in the field.

We further fortified our client’s unique EB1A petition by incorporating recommendation letters signed by other experts in the field. These letters served as subjective evidence that our client’s work on soft matter physics improves our understanding of the interactions of nanoparticles with a range of substances and surfaces as well as the network structure and behavior of important macromolecules at the molecular level. This is what one of our client’s recommenders noted in his recommendation letter: “Given this background and his monumental contributions to the field of polymer physics, I believe it is clear that [Client] is a unique talent with a valuable skillset who is well-suited to addressing some of the most pressing problems facing the field today.”

We are pleased that we convinced the USCIS of the international influence and widespread implementation of our client’s work. We congratulate him for securing EB1A petition approval in just 9 days, and we wish him the best as he adjusts his status for permanent residence with the help of our I-485 DIY Packet.
